“While they are still very young, we want to hand our boys any responsibilities we think they can handle. Actually—on the advice of my grown sons—sometimes we need to assign them a little bit more than what we think they can handle. This gives them a mission, something to conquer and overcome. We can be right there cheering them on, but we shouldn’t be too quick to rescue them. As I mentioned earlier with schoolwork, the struggle is an important part of their development.”

“Black lives matter. It’s true. From a Christian worldview perspective, we can plumb even deeper than a three-word catchphrase or hashtag. Black lives don’t merely matter; every black life was fearfully and wonderfully made by God himself. Every black life bears the divine image. Black lives are worth enough for the Creator to take on flesh and endure torture, execution, and infinite wrath.”

“How do you think preaching the gospel to ourselves every day— reminding ourselves of the amazing grace God extended to us when we were hostile to him—could impact our approach to social justice?

“Does our vision of social justice take any group-identity more seriously than our identities “in Adam” and “in Christ”? Does it buy into divisive propaganda? Does it replace love, peace, and patience with suspicion, division, and rage?”
